Here's the newest of my Bowies to come out. The blade is full flat ground, with an unsharpened swedge, of Stainless Elmax. The guard is brass, with Whitetail antler used on the handle.

$60/Sold
Here's the kick in the rear, it's OAL is 3 1/2"s, so it's a miniature, because I just really like making them.:D

Sweet. I thnk there is a market for miniature knives. Didn't Randall make miniatures of some of its popular models?
 
With your obvious talent you might consider an "ornamental" holder of some variety. I can easily picture this blade at the corner of my desk as a letter opener.

Once again...great execution :thumbup:

They sure did, from the 60's well into 2000 it seems.

Thanks Mako, I've considered making small stands for variety, but since most of my minis end up in shadow boxes for display, it seemed like an unnecessary added cost for an unused piece.
 
LoL, in Elmax?! :thumbup:

That will be one tough little bugger. Great edge retention for when you hit all of those mice bones. :)
 
Hey, I like how you are using all the left over pieces, cool how it works out where you can create a little hobby/collector market. If not a miniature stand, how about a little looking stone to slip it into, not real stone but metal? I recall how those small sword miniatures/letter openers had one to slip into. Just a crazy idea, and maybe work your smithing skills. In My area of Virginia, a man named Dale Ballue (spelling?) used to make miniatures but stopped because of the strain on the hands.

I'll have to give those ideas some thought, and see what I can come up with in the future. Arthritis hasn't been my friend either when it comes to doing minis, so I've had to use a ball vice to hold the smaller pieces while working the finishing details.
